Consumer Description
BF GOODRICH MUD TERRAIN T/A ON THE 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER WILLY PACKAGE IS STANDARD.. THIS TIRE IS A HAZARD FOR SUCH A LIGHT CAR IN WET CONDITIONS. MANY JEEP DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED SLIPPING ON THE ROAD EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. ONE DRIVER WHO HAD THEM ON HIS TRUCK, SAID HIS TRUCK VERY SLIPPED ON WET ROADS LIKE HIS JEEP WRANGLER IS DOING NOW. I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE SO SLOW ON WET CURVES, WELL BELOW THE POSTED, AND MUCH SLOWER THAN ALL THE OTHER CARS. JEEP PUT A EXCELLENT OFF ROAD TIRE ON A CAR, TO BE DRIVEN ON ROADS. THE NORMAL TIRE, THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER, IS A EXCELLENT TIRE. I WAS NEVER ADVISED THAT WET ROADS WILL BE A HAZARD TO DRIVE ON. WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE ON RAMP TO I-10, MY JEEP LOST TRACTION WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION ON THE WET ROAD. EXITING THE I-35 ON WET ROADS, MY TIRES LOST TRACTION ON THE CURVE, RATED AT 35MPH, WHEN GOING UNDER 30. I ENDED UP IN THE GRASS. 30+ YEARS DRIVING. 10+ YEARS DRIVING JEEPS. NEVER AN ACCIDENT OR OFF THE ROAD. THESE TIRES ARE A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM ON 2 DOOR WRANGLERS. JUST READ THE JEEP FORUMS AT ALL THE PROBLEMS.
